I agree. I got a nursing, master’s and law degree before children. Everyone kept telling me I had “plenty of time.”
Those were just pretty lies. Time does run out.
Thankfully, I was still able to adopt.
Now, I tell my own kids not to wait too long.
Thanks for sharing keats5. We want more kids but my wife has some medical issues, so our 1 may be all we have. We hope not. We are considering foster parenting.
My wife and I wanted to finish our degrees and have some fun after college. I was in the military for 10 years which greatly extended the time it took to get my bachelors and my wife was in a doctorates program for pharmacists. We completed college in 2006. She will be 32 in August and I’ll be 33 in November. We realize that we are not getting any younger and have decided to start trying to conceive in September. We only want two and then we are done.
